Overview

The Rikenon 55mm f/1.8 Auto is a vintage lens with solid build quality, often found attached to old Ricoh cameras. Optically, it is sharp in the center but shows some softness at the edges wide open, with good contrast and color rendition. The lens is compact and well-built, though it may show signs of age like mold or spots. It suits photographers looking for an affordable, classic normal lens for manual focus systems, especially those who enjoy adapting vintage glass.
